Clinicians and academics from the Roehampton Institute, London, map some aspects of using an art form intentionally as an action therapy, as opposed to a verbal therapy, to emphasize the healthy aspects of clients' lives. They discuss dramatherapy as initiation through ritual theater, the world within the playroom, hands-on art therapy, psychodynamic music therapy, dance movement, research, links between the arts therapies, the profession itself, and other topics. Distributed in the US by Taylor and Francis. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
